In response to negative reactions to her endorsement of Romney in October, Dash wrote: "My humble opinionâ€¦ EVERYONE is entitled to one."

TMZ has published a 1,344-word essay written by Dash, in which she expresses her disbelief and sadness at the election's outcome.

Dash wrote in the letter: "I've been fortunate enough in my career to have earned a considerable income. I am a fiscal conservative. I like the simplicity of the plan to lower taxes.

"I feel I've paid out a substantial amount over the 20-plus years I've been working. I'm also a woman. And as a single mother who happens to be half-Bajan and half-Mexican, I have concerns, which cover many topics and issues."
